Equilibrium’s xDOT (the liquid DOT staking product) is moving forward to provide more value to the Polkadot community. We are teaming with Astar, one of the top three crowdloan projects on Polkadot’s auction, offering a doubled crowdloan bonus and allocating a chunk of 200,000 EQ tokens to reward community backers who lock their DOTs for Astar via xDOT.

Participants supporting Astar network using xDOT will earn regular Astar crowdloan rewards plus a 100% increased crowdloan bonus which equals 1 EQ token for each staked DOT. The latter bonus is coming from a special allocation of 200,000 EQ tokens assigned specifically to the Astar crowdloan campaign.

We at Equilibrium see the value in the Astar parachain as it lowers barriers for new projects to enter the ecosystem, which in turn increases liquidity in Polkadot DeFi. With this motivation in mind, we have decided to contribute to Astar’s Polkadot success and the overall ecosystem sustainability.
